Glad you liked it! Now that I've gotten that part of the story completed and out of the way, things will be slowing down a bit and well you'll just have to wait and see what I do. Hehehe...Also, we like to be ourselves too so why judge someone who's awesome enough to admit what they are? Anyway, enjoy this chapter and tell us what you think!

Well, you'll have to read to find out! And I'll explain more in this chapter.
It had been three days since InuYasha's fight against Tim, and two since he had woken to find himself in his brothers castle being tended to by Sesshoumaru's top healer Nanao. In that time InuYasha had learned that Nanao was the demon version of Keade and was not easily fooled.
"Wow, got fleas InuYasha?" Setsuna asked as he walked into the room InuYasha had been pinned to, to see the hanyo struggling to get away from Nanao's hands.
"Get lost Kitty." InuYasha spat as he managed to fall out of his small bed and escape Nanao temporarily.
"No can do, Meathead. You said you wanted to know what we could find out as soon as possible." Setsuna said with a shrug and a smirk while tossing a new scroll to the hanyo, only to have Nanao snatch it away.
"Hey!" InuYasha yelled, glaring at the serpent healer as she mimicked the action. "Give me that scroll," InuYasha demanded while Setsuna smirked before waving his hand to get the healer's attention.
"InuYasha will be fine for a few minutes," he told the iris serpent and watched as she hesitated a minute before dropping the scroll into InuYasha's waiting hands and walking out.
"So what have you and the idiot learned?" InuYasha asked while unfurling the scroll and looking at it.
"Other than simple stuff, almost nothing. We looked into the name you said your opponent gave you and it turned up nothing here so Sesshoumaru is going to send it to the mainland to see what they can find. As for your pack, the Slayer and her mate have been told the news and should be arriving here shortly with their three pups. Totosai and Myoga have been sent to go warn your village and to retrieve your eldest son, Shippo." Setsuna told InuYasha as said man frowned at something on the scroll.
"Two halves of one whole. An heir of two, yet an heir of none. Of the line of shadow, one will fall. What the hell is this supposed to mean?" InuYasha growled and Setsuna shrugged in answer.
"Your brother and I have come up with a few theories but nothing we can solidify. So we've come to you with a theory we think is highly possible." Setsuna said and seeing how he had InuYasha's full attention continued. "We believe Kaiken had more than one reason to take Akari. Akari herself is two halves of a whole, half human and half demon. She is a descendant of the main line in the Kuro Clan, and Kaiken has fallen. As for being an heir that is the conflicting part." Setsuna told InuYasha, who had crossed his arms in thought and closed his eyes.
"So you think that Akari is what this thing is talking about?" InuYasha said and opened his eyes to look Setsuna head on. "But why would someone be looking for her?" InuYasha asked but his only response was a shrug from Setsuna.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Setsuna told him and both men sat in silence until Nanao came in and shoved Setsuna out of the room so she could tend to a ticked off InuYasha who insisted he was fine.

"So how long is she going to stay human?" Kagome asked as she and Yusuke's team sat in a mostly empty pizza place to eat while a few friends of Kuwabara's fixed up their house.
"I'm not sure, I didn't realize she was a half demon until the change happened. I'm sorry," Yukina spoke, her head bowed as Kuwabara laughed at the sight of Akari trying to figure out if her pizza was going to attack her or not.
"It's not your fault. I'm guessing you haven't met many so it's no big deal." Kagome reassured and gave the girl a smile.
"Anyway, I don't see what the problem is. I mean, it's not like it's permanent or anything. You can just fix it." Yusuke said while stuffing a slice of pizza into his mouth.
"Yusuke!" Botan said in a disapproving tone as both she and Kagome each kicked one of his legs without the other realizing it and making Yusuke jerk and choke on his pizza.
"Dammit Kagome!" Yusuke yelled as Kagome gave him an innocent look while giving Masaru a new bread stick to chew on, absently wiping his face before hand. "And you too Botan!" The boy growled just as Kurama started to laugh, drawing the girl's plus Yusuke's attention to Kurama and the boys.
"Damn Kuwabara, there's plenty of pizza, you don't have to wear it!" Yusuke laughed as a slice of pizza slowly slid off of the carrot top's face and hit the table with a smack.
"C'mere Uramashi! I'll give you a reason to laugh!" Kuwabara yelled while shaking a fist at Yusuke, who only laughed since the threat was void thanks to the tomato sauce on the other boy's face.
"Boys!" Botan and Kagome yelled at the same time, causing the two fighters to pause and look at them while Yukina, who had been sitting between them blinked slowly and turned her head to look at Hiei, who had flashed over to her seat and lifted her out of range of the boys fists.
"Maybe you idiots should go outside and let us eat." Akari said with a smirk as Kurama snickered at the sight of Kagome and Botan yelling at his two friends while Hiei and Yukina watched with the fox and Akari.

"So how long will I be stuck like this?" I asked Kagome as we walked down the street back to the shrine. Yusuke and his team had already split off from us and had left us, letting us be alone for a minute and I wasn't complaining from being away from that stupid black idiot Hiei.
"I'm not sure, apparently when Yukina was healing you she thought you were a full demon and drew on your yokia to help her." Kagome explained to me and I frowned while absently touching my human ears and pulling on the braid Kagome had put my hair in.
"Okay, but the way you make it sounds you make it seem like I have no yokia in me." I told her and looked at my human hand.
"I don't know Akari," she told me and I made a fist out of my hand.
"It better not last forever," I told her as I looked at her out of the corner of my eye while she adjusted a sleeping Masaru in her arms. "I don't like being a weakling." I said and crossed my arms.
"You're not a weakling." She told me and used one hand to pat my head awkwardly, though I was pretty sure she was going to try and rub the ears I didn't have anymore.
"Whatever," I muttered and looked around in confusion. "Where are all the humans? I mean isn't there supposed to be a ton of them?" I asked as I looked up and down the mostly deserted street. As I looked around I felt my unease double.
"I'm not sure...It's probably nothing though." Kagome said and pulled me closer to her while looking around as well. "Come on, let's just get back to the shrine." She told me while grabbing my hand in her own and started to walk faster than before, telling me without words that something was definitely up. As we walked past a dark narrow alley I swore I saw something move and could faintly hear sharp whispers.
"Kagome, I think something's following us." I whispered and felt her hand tighten around my own. I looked up at Kagome as she pulled us around a corner and onto a street that had a few other people on it.
"Come on, this way." Kagome said we slowed down a bit as we tried to blend in with the humans who seemed oblivious to the danger following us.
"I suggest doing what I say if you want to get back to your home safely." A familiar cold voice said as Hiei appeared at Kagome's other side and walked alongside us.
"Hiei!" Kagome said in surprise making the other boy scoff at us.
"What are you doing here Baka?" I snapped at him as he flicked his eyes backwards before looking at me with a frown.
"Koenma apparently located one of the spirits after your mate and his brother." He told us as we walked and I reflexively held onto Kagome tighter.
"What do you mean? Which one?" Kagome asked but before Hiei could answer a glass window we were walking past exploded with a crash and Kagome had tackled me to the ground with Masaru still in her arms.
"Get moving!" Hiei snapped at Kagome as she pulled me back to my feet and looked around.
"What's going on?" I shouted as humans shoved past me in an attempt to get away from the sound of gunfire, a noise I had learned from Souta while playing his video games.
"Nothing yet," a feminine voice said in my ear making me freeze for a second before scrambling towards Kagome, only to feel a hand gripping my arm with enough strength to leave a bruise. "Hold on, I'm-" The woman started as I twisted as best as I could and swung my free arm at her.
"Akari!" I heard Kagome yell as I opened my eyes just in time to see what looked like a shadow cover my hand, looking like my demon claws except bigger, connect with the pale bleach blond woman's face making her strange red eyes widen before closing reflexively as my fist connected.. As the strange woman's hold on me loosened I jerked my arm free and stumbled back, getting bumped by several humans as more screams broke out and I faintly heard Kagome calling me.
"Kagome?" I yelled out, turning around towards where I thought it was only to get knocked down by a man's box as he shoved me aside and continued to run. "Mom!" I yelled with some panic in my voice as I tried to get up, only to be knocked down every time.
"Listen, we don't have much time." The woman from before said as she grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me up and next to her.
"Let go of me!" I yelled, fighting her as best as I could. "Mom!" I yelled again and caught a flash of her through the thinning crowd before she vanished again when more gunfire exploded closer than before.
"Dammit kid! He didn't tell me you'd be this stubborn!" The woman snapped as she lifted me up and started backwards.
"Let go!" I yelled, kicking my legs back at her and biting down on her arm hard enough to draw blood.
"I suggest letting her go or losing your life." I heard Hiei say coldly as I caught sight of something shiny between me and my would be kidnapper.
"You've got to be kidding me!" The woman said as another building exploded and fire started to spread. "Listen, I'm not one of the bad guys! Not that you'll believe me, but seriously! I'm one of the ones supposed to be protec-" She said and apparently Hiei had the same idea as me because we both attacked her at the same time. While I bit her arms again, Hiei decided to hit her head with the flat of his sword forcing her to drop me just as I heard Kagome scream followed by the distinct sound of Masaru crying.
"Mom!" I yelled and ran towards the sound, ignoring the yells for me to wait as I climbed over fallen debris towards the sound of Masaru crying. "Dammit!" I hissed as I slid across a jagged piece of rock and ripped the skin off of arm and back before managing to get back up on my feet.
"Don't touch him!" I heard Kagome yell followed by a blast of blue light and a scream.
"Why hello," I heard someone say as my good arm was grabbed and I was pulled up into the air to look into the face of a giant lizard demon. "You look quit tasty." The demon said and I tried to growl.
"Let me go you overgrown lizard!" I yelled and kicked at it's face, making it laugh before looking towards the sound of fighting. That was all the distraction I needed, letting my instincts kick in I pulled on something inside of me and swung my bloody arm at him, acting as if I still had my claws as I drove them for the demon's throat.
"Nicely done Kid." I heard someone, the blond woman I assume, say as the dead demon let me go as their carcass fell and I took off towards the last place I had heard Kagome.
"Mom!" I yelled as I ran towards where I could see Masaru surrounded by a flickering blue and pink barrier as well as several burnt bodies that I chose to ignore. "Masaru, where's Mom?" I demanded of the infant as he looked up at me through his tears while the barrier fell. It took me another minute to realize I had lifted Masaru up into my arms and that I was looking at Hiei.
"Looks like that white idiot said the wrong person." The blond woman said as the sound of sirens cut through the crackle of flames.
